A breath of fin-de-siècle mystery and refinement
This delicate folding lorgnette is much more than a simple optical accessory: it is a small masterpiece of Art Nouveau style, where undulating lines and plant motifs intertwine around an ephemeral feminine muse.
Made of finely embossed brass, it unfolds like a secret whispered in your ear...
Although one lens is missing and one of the bezels is damaged, it still retains all its beauty when closed, becoming a display object as poetic as it is nostalgic.
